I am at home all over the world when i enter into a Catholic church and attend Mass in any language.

Mass used to be the same World Wide when we had the Traditional Latin Mass. One could have a Missal like I have with Latin on left English on Right, could use anywhere. Had an interesting experience last Summer in Budapest, Mass in Latin but Novus Ordo. Readings and Homily in Ungarn. But did get to Mass and fulfill Sunday Obligation.
That is my wife and I like Holland America Line for sea cruises, always a priest onboard, non-denominational Protestant and Rabbi.
I guess my hope is that everyone finds a Faith to guide them, especially members of my family.
